You will be transferred from Split airport to the Trogir port. Embarkation begins at 2:00 PM. Get settled in your cabin before going on a short orientation walk through this medieval city. Trogir is sometimes referred to as “miniature Venice” or a “mini-Dubrovnik” because of its ancient walls, or a “floating museum town” - as it has a masterful architecture including some stunning Venetian palaces. After returning to the ship enjoy a Welcome reception followed by dinner this evening.
( Dinner )In the morning, we will head towards Split where you will
join a guided tour of Split and visit the seafront
promenade and Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace. The

olive oil. Overnight in the town of Milna.
Leaving Milna and Brač Island in the morning set sail to
Vis. Cruise towards the island of Vis, once a strategic
naval Yugoslav base and restricted to the public. Due to
this isolation, Vis has a special charm – “the
Mediterranean as it once was” making it interesting to
visit. Since the independence of Croatia, the island began
opening slowly to the outside world. Some of Europe's
largest and greatest naval battles happened in the
waters of Vis. Vis Island holds many historic secrets and

Defenders. Overnight in one of the harbors on the island
of Vis.

floor, the first municipal theatre in Europe. Above Hvar
Town is the impressive Španjola Fortress offering
magnificent views over the bay and Pakleni islands.
Overnight in Hvar or Stari Grad.
Early in the morning we set sail for the island of Korčula,
the best-preserved medieval town, thought to be the

lakes in the Mljet National Park. Alternatively, you can
